Some work is being done on the I-153, before removing the engine. Those photos show some good details about the engine bay. You will note that some parts are missing (such as the magnetos) and some wires and pipes were cut. The aircraft was probably made unserviceable before the Germans arrived to the airfield in June 1941.

We have added a new video of the Fokker DVII. The video was shot during the training session prior to the Ferté Alais airshow.The clip has been added to our video page : click the Video button on the left menu or click here.
